You, the Dog and a Cotter Crate - all you need

David Beattie of Sheep School put 2 doses into 180 ewes in rapid time using a Cotter Crate sheep handler. He bought it for lambs. He didn't expect this sheep handling system to handle ewes this well. Watch how sheep flow up the ramp with just the dog for help - no pacing up and down a sheep race all day.

The Cotter Crate is grant eligible in Ireland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. See our full sheep handler grants guide for the latest schemes and how to apply.

An Integrated Solution

Use our products together to maximise return on investment.

Sheep handler for fast, easy and safe dosing, weighing and drafting.

Ensure efficient and safe animal flow through your unit with one of our yard options

Add a weigh head and EID reader to your unit Track individual animal performance and take the headache out of compliance records. Choose the level that suits your flock: Basic - Weigh Only A simple weigh head that displays weight, with no EID reader needed. Ideal if tags only go in lambs' ears at slaughter. Example: Gallagher W-0 Most Popular - Weigh + EID A weigh head that links to an EID reader, letting you record weights against tag numbers, log up to three individual animal traits at a time, and see average daily gain (ADG) in real time. Example: Gallagher W-1 + HR4 package Advanced - Full Performance Recording Built for flocks breeding their own replacements from data. Record a high number of traits and track detailed flock progress over time. Example: Gallagher TW range + HR5 package

Powered, smart drench gun that ensures every animal gets the right amount at the pull of a trigger (fixed dose mode). When used with a weigh crate like the Cotter Crate, the gun can automatically calculate the dose based on the animals weight (weight based mode), saving up to 20% in drench use.

Supercharge the Cotter Crate with SmartWorm! The app provides real time recommendations on whether a lamb needs a wormer drench or not. Users are dosing 40-60% less lambs while achieving the same performance as if they blanket treated. Save on drench, reduce time spent drenching, and slow drench resistance.
